By combining extensive OEM data with the analytical capabilities of the Geotab platform, the partnership offers commercial fleets telematics and connected mobility solutions that are ready to use without retrofitting. Fleet operators gain valuable insights that allow them to make efficiency-enhancing decisions almost in real time.

All Volvos up to 2014 can also be retrofitted retrospectively

The integration is suitable for all Volvo vehicles delivered with either the Volvo On Call connectivity service or an Android-based infotainment system, and goes back to model year 2014.

Christoph Ludewig, VP Leasing/Rental/Mobility & OEM, Geotab, explains:

“I am delighted about the integration of Volvo Cars into Geotab's OEM telematics ecosystem and the future joint path towards seamless connectivity solutions for fleets.”

The benefits for operators of fleets with Volvo vehicles are quickly listed:

  • Optimization of fuel and energy consumption: Users can track the remaining range of different vehicle types (ICEs, PHEVs, BEVs) to improve route planning and reduce fuel costs. Continuous monitoring of fuel levels and the state of charge also enables operators to identify opportunities to improve fuel efficiency and promote eco-friendly driving behaviors.
  • Monitoring of electric vehicle charging: With insights into the current status and remaining charging time, fleet operators can introduce more efficient charging procedures and lower their overall energy costs.
  • Increasing vehicle utilization: Tracking vehicle usage through travel routes and odometric data reduces unnecessary kilometers and optimizes the overall efficiency of the fleet. In addition, the timely departure and arrival of vehicles can be tracked to reduce delays and increase customer satisfaction.
  • Minimizing downtime: By proactively tracking vehicle condition data and setting up automatic maintenance reminders, the solution helps fleet managers reduce downtime in their fleets and create improved maintenance schedules for fewer disruptions.
  • Ensuring compliance: Fleet managers can easily distinguish between business and private trips with automated logbooks to ensure accurate records for compliance and tax purposes.

Jonas Rönnkvist, Head of Data Business and Strategy at Volvo Cars, explains:

“The partnership with Geotab allows us to extend these core values to the fleet sector so that commercial operators can fully exploit the potential of our connected vehicles. With this integration, fleet managers can seamlessly access critical insights that help maximize the value and performance of their Volvo vehicles and ensure they meet the demands of a modern, data-driven operation.”

In addition to Volvo, the MyGeotab platform now also integrates OEM data from all leading car manufacturers in Europe as well as data from retrofitted telematics devices from Geotab. The platform supports fully electric (EV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and conventional combustion vehicles, with data points tailored to each drive type.

Cross-brand integration simplifies fleet managers’ overview

Geotab customers can choose from various data access plans with pre-configured rate options that enable a unified view of their entire fleet across all brands, model years, and drive types. This cross-brand integration ensures synchronized, consistent data representation for fleet managers and provides a unified view despite different sources. The integration of MyGeotab with Volvo Cars is now available worldwide.

What does this mean?

A smart move for fleets: Through the Geotab integration with Volvo Cars, fleet operators have their job made easier from the factory – with access to extensive data from Geotab – not just with Volvo.
